NAME
Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub - GitHub-related modules for
IRC bots running Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable
DESCRIPTION
A set of modules for Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable bots, providing useful
GitHub-related functionality.
If your team use GitHub and colloborate on IRC, these may well be of
interest to you. They're already in use on the Dancer project's IRC
channel, and internally at my workplace, UK2.
Most communication with GitHub uses Net::GitHub::V2, and can use
authentication with an API key for private repositories.
MODULES
The following modules are included - see the documentation for each for
more details on how to use them.
Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub::EasyLinks
Provide quick URLs to view issues/pull requests etc when someone
mentions one - for example:
<user> Go have a look at Issue 42
<bot1> Issue 42 (It doesn't work) https://github.com/....
<user> I fixed that in 5fcbb01
<bot1> Commit 5fcbb01 (Retarded logic fail.) - https://github.com/....
You can set a default project per-channel, so the above examples
will look at whatever project is set as default for the channel the
message was in.
You can also explicitly tell it to look at any other GitHub project:
<user> 5fcbb01 @ bigpresh/Bot-BasicBot-Pluggable-Module-GitHub
<bot1> Commit 5fcbb01 (Retarded logic fail.) - https://github.com/...
Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub::PullRequests
Monitor pull requests for GitHub projects.
Example:
<@bigpresh> !pr
< sophie> Open pull requests for sukria/Dancer : 8 pull requests open
(felixdo:3, perlpilot:1, jamhed:1, dams:1, ambs:1, JTimothyKing:1)
Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub::Announce
Announces issues raised/closed for each channel's default project.
Periodically checks on issues for each project, and reports changes,
for example:
< sophie> Issues closed : 667 (YAML::XS for Session::YAML) by jamhed :
https://github.com/sukria/Dancer/issues/667
Loading modules
See the Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable documentation for how to load these
modules into your bot.
Do not load this module directly; load the modules named above
individually, to get just the functionality you require.
This module is intended only to provide a base for the other modules,
including shared functionality and common documentation.
Configuring the default project repo
The modules above need to know what GitHub project repository they
should refer to.
The project (and, optionally, authentication details, if it's not a
public project) are configured with the `!setgithubproject' command in a
private message to the bot.
You'll need to be authenticated to the bot in order to set the project
(see the auth module).
You set the project with:
!setgithubproject #channel user/projectname
That sets the default project repo to `projectname' owned by `user' on
GitHub (in other words, <https://github.com/user/projectname>).
If the project is a private repository which requires authentication,
you can also tell the bot what user and token it should use to
authenticate:
!setgithubproject #channel user/privateproject someuser:githubtokenhere
You can generate/find an API token for your GitHub account at
https://github.com/account/admin
